This is an adult drama-comedy. All of the objectionable elements noted above have been totally nuked out of this family-friendly version. I found Warren Schmidt’s character a sad commentary on the Great American Dream: work hard, get a nice house, have a family, retire. Warren worked very hard, but never found any meaning in his life until after he retired and he lost his wife. Then, he began looking out and doing something for someone else: the child in Africa. There are very touching scenes, when you realize how Warren has gradually changed into a man with a heart, who cries in the end, when his orphan child sends him a drawing of two stick people: a man and a child holding hands. This is not a movie for children, due to themes they wouldn’t grasp. With the offensive language and other elements removed, this is thoughtful, soul touching fare that I recommend.
